Today I'm talking to nutritionist Jennifer Nash (who is also the newest member of the CIHAS team). In this conversation we're talking about the NCMP, particularly the research Jennifer undertook as part of her Masters course, as well as the work Jennifer has done with Body Happy Org to address some of the issues with the way nutrition is taught in schools.

In this episode we discuss:

👉 Jennifer's recent research into experiences of the NCMP and the harm that appears to be being caused by this programme
👉 Some of the issues with how nutrition is taught in primary schools
👉 The food-positive scheme of work Jennifer created for Body Happy Org
👉 How we can tell our teachers and schools about these resources to help foster a body- and food-positive culture in schools
